We could post videos all day about maga supporters , as theres lots lots more of these , but this are some anecdotal examples and not studys , nor should we think theyre all this stupid.
Ive written already about trump, but this clever facebook post is worth repeating.
It of course excludes the fact Trump is the billionaire class, the 1%, who the government looks after and he made a nice tax cut for his wealthy buddies and he tried to return USA to the dark ages with mercantilism protectionism that capitalism was supposed to have ended that resurfaced post WWII and ended again with 1980s neo liberalism introduction. its like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse.
THIS WAS ON A FRIEND’S PAGE: An anguished question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’
THE SERIOUS ANSWER: Here’s what
the majority of anti-Trump voters honestly feel about Trump supporters en masse:
That when you heard him relating a story of an elderly guest of his country club, an 80-year old man, who fell off a stage and hit his head, to Trump replied: “‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away. I couldn’t—you know, he was right in front of me, and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him. He was bleeding all over the place. And I felt terrible, because it was a beautiful white marble floor, and now it had changed color. Became very red.” You said, "That's cool!" (

That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they're supposed to be regulating and you have said, "What a genius!" (

That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages, managed to lose track of 1500 kids, has opened a tent city incarceration camp in the desert in Texas - he explains that they’re just “animals” - and you say, “Well, OK then.” (
https://www.nbcnews.com/.../more-5-400-children-split...)
That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise. (

What you don't get, Trump supporters, is that our succumbing to frustration and shaking our heads, thinking of you as stupid, may very well be wrong and unhelpful, but it's also...hear me...charitable.
Because if you're NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering.

Is it just Stupidity ?
While its fun to take the piss from the genuinely stupid Trump voters , having said that its not just a case of stupidity-
1) Its a case of 2 failing right wing neo liberal parties that look after the oligarchs and 1% with no alternative anti establishment option apart from Trump.
2) Looking for answers leads to a media bias.
Why Rich Logis left MAGA
Rich Logis, founder of Leaving MAGA interviews PattyAnn Giles, an ex-Trump Supporter who became disillusioned with the MAGA movement over their extreme disinformation campaign during the Covid-19 pandemic, discuss the rise of disinformation through right wing media channels and how Donald Trump capitalizes on the chaos of the modern media landscape.
Her right wing misinformation bubble was Ben Shapiro , Candace Owens ,
Hes the article they reference about critical thinking and media literacy not taught at schools
3) While part of the media problem including right wing liberal conservative propaganda podcasters, is the right wing misinformation campaign, Trump exacerbated it with so many unbelievable lies that it confused the public/voters. Afterall I mean the trick to being a good liar, a skilled liar, a competent liar is to be believable otherwise there’s no point. With so many easily checked lies Trumps strategy isnt misinformation its to make public and voters unable to tell truth from fiction, thus means his populist rhetoric wins over the more easily fooled who arent worried about facts.
Chris Hedges, a journalist and author known for his critiques of both corporate media and political manipulation. In his book "Death of the Liberal Class," he discusses how political leaders like Donald Trump and their supporters deliberately blur the lines between truth and falsehood, creating a situation where it becomes increasingly difficult for the public to discern fact from fiction. This can be seen as an effort to erode trust in institutions and factual reporting, essentially ending the concept of objective truth.
Hedges, who has written extensively about the erosion of truth in the media and politics, argues that when leaders like Trump repeatedly call the media "fake news," they are not simply spreading lies but are engaging in a deeper, more insidious process of undermining our ability to know what is true. This "war on truth" is a central theme in his work, where he points out that once truth becomes relative and untrustworthy, it leaves people vulnerable to manipulation, since the distinction between fact and fiction no longer holds.
This theme aligns closely with critiques made about Trump’s rhetoric—when facts are constantly contested, it leads to an environment where people cannot easily distinguish between what's real and what's fabricated. It's a powerful method of control, as it forces people to rely on emotional and biased narratives rather than verifiable truths.
We are living in a post truth society as outlined by many , during Trumps first presidency eg
so much so this 2016 article named 'Post-truth' as word of the year by Oxford Dictionaries
Where oxford and cambridge dictionarys define it as "relating to a situation in which people are mmore likely to accept an argument based on their emotions and beliefs , rather than one based on facts"
